Co-op Festival

Saturday, October 6, 2018 to Sunday, October 7, 2018

National Mall Washington, DC

NCBA CLUSA and its cooperative partners are thrilled to announce that the second annual Co-op Festival will take place October 6 and 7, 2018 on the National Mall in Washington, DC! We’re already working on the displays, activities and performances that will make this year’s festival even more impactful.

With dozens of partners and exhibitors and 20,000 attendees, the first-ever Co-op Festival was an unprecedented public awareness event educating consumers on what a co-op is and why they should care.

The 2018 Co-op Festival will expand that effort, continuing to celebrate the success, diversity and impact of cooperative businesses. We’ll bring the top co-op brands and supporters together to show America how co-ops are building a better world and a more inclusive economy.

New to the festival this year is the inclusion of the Cooperative Development Foundation's annual Co-op 5K. Held in conjunction with the festival, this family-friendly fun run will provide additional opportunities for our partners and exhibitors to promote and enhance cooperative development.
